I hate this “never forget” bullshit. It insults me.
Do you really think that I’m going to forget? I mean really. Am I going to forget that fucking planes crashed into buildings? No. I’m not. I don’t need you to constantly whine at me about not forgetting (I won’t). I don’t need you to tell me that I’m unAmerican because I don’t believe in invading countries unnecessarily (It’s stupid). I don’t need you to tell me that it’s insulting to build a mosque two blocks from Ground Zero (it’s not).
How about you remember that time when people came over from England and fucking slaughtered some Native Americans. THOSE IMMIGRANT MOTHERFUCKING ENGLISH invaded. Oh, and there was that time we fucking STOLE PEOPLE from another country, enslaved them, and decided they were a subspecies. Then there was that super fun time when we imprisoned a bunch of fucking citizens in internment camps and left them with nothing after the war was over. Oh wait, I’m remembering another thing, when we decided those slaves really were PEOPLE, but OH WAIT, THERE NOT QUITE A WHOLE PERSON.
AND HEY, REMEMBER WHEN WOMEN COULDN’T VOTE.
I’d rather remember these things so that maybe, JUST MAYBE WE CAN QUIT REPEATING OUR MOTHERFUCKING MISTAKES.
